(AP) - On the 50th anniversary of the "Bloody Sunday" march that erupted in police violence on Selma's Edmund Pettus Bridge, President Barack Obama praised the figures of a civil rights era that he was too young to know. He called them "warriors of justice" who pushed America closer to a more perfect union. "So much of our turbulent history - the stain of slavery and anguish of civil war, the yoke of segregation and tyranny of Jim Crow, the death of four little girls in Birmingham, and the dream of a Baptist preacher - met on this bridge," Obama told the crowd under a broiling sun. "It was not a clash of armies, but a clash of wills; a contest to determine the meaning of America. " Thousands packed the riverside town for commemorations of the march of March 7, 1965, in what became the first of three aiming to reach Montgomery, Alabama, to demand an end to dis- crimination against black voters and all such victims of segregation. Scenes of troopers beating marchers on the bridge shocked the nation, emboldening leaders in Washington to pass the Voting Rights Act five months later. Obama spoke immediately after Rep. John Lewis, a leader of the Selma march who was brought down by police truncheons - his skull fractured - that day in 1965. "There's still work left to be done,' Lewis said. "Get out there and push and pull until we redeem the soul of America." In the crowd stood Madeline McCloud of Gainesville, Florida, who traveled overnight with a group of NAACP members from central Florida and marched in Georgia for civil rights back in the day. "For me this could be the end of the journey since I'm 72," she said. "I'm stepping back into the his- tory we made." Also in attendance was Peggy Wallace Kennedy, a daughter of George Wallace, the late Alabama governor who once vowed "segregation forever." On his way to Selma, Obama signed a law awarding the Congressional Gold medal to participants of the trio of marches, the last of which brought protesters all the way to Montgomery.

REV. JOHNNY C. SMITH,PASTOR – MOUNT MORIAH

MISSIONARY BAPTIST CHURCH

In Chapter 1, we were intro-duced to a disobedient prophet,yet in Chapter 2, we witnessedto a devotional prophet. Now,in Chapter 3, we will notice adeclaring prophet. AfterJonah's encounter of almost

facing death in Chapter 2, theLord directs him again toaccomplish His will (1:1-2). TheLord gives Jonah a secondchance. Thanks be unto Himthat He is always patient withHis callous and disobedient chil-dren, often exhibiting His undy-ing faithfulness despite ourunfaithfulness to His revealedwill.

Upon Jonah's arrival in thecity, he began to preach, pro-claiming a message of judg-ment, in that the people hadforty days to repent before Goddemolished the city (3:3-4). Themessage that Jonah faithfullyproclaimed had such an effectupon the people, for the peoplebelieved the message anddemonstrated humble contri-tion (v.5). Through Jonah's

preaching, there was a greatcity-wide revival. Have you everheard of a city-wide revivalwherein everybody repented?Such a revival took place in thenotorious city of Nineveh. Eventhe king at the time, somescholars feel that Ashurdan IIIwas king, repented and issued adecree calling for a city-widefast, with man and beast (3:6-7). God, who had threatened tojudge Nineveh (3:4), nowrelented in judging them, spar-ing them because of theirrepentance (v.10).

Our God can demonstrate Hismercy also to the countlessnumber of unsaved peopletoday, if they would onlybelieve. Like Nineveh, Godwants to spare the manyunsaved people of our day from

going to hell. God has made itpossible that every man canexperience salvation. Salvationis a free gift from God, withoutrespect to any merit on the partof man. Jesus came so thatevery man after the offspring ofAdam might experience lifeeternal, for John 5:24 says:"Verily, verily, I say unto you, Hethat heareth my word, andbelieveth on Him that sent me,hath everlasting life, and shallnot come into condemnation;but is passed from death untolife." In conclusion, Jonah, whoat one time ran from the will ofGod, found himself in God'swill, and a great revival hap-pened. You can always experi-ence a revival when you are inGod's will. If obedient, you canhave a revival everyday!

Part IV "Jonah - The Declaring Prophet" Chapter 3

BY JAZELLE HUNTNNPA WASHINGTONCORRESPONDENT

(NNPA) - After 30 years of lit-tle to no progress, Black youthare completing high school atthe highest rates in history.

This is the finding in a newissue brief titled, "Young BlackAmerica Part One: High SchoolCompletion Rates are at theirHighest Ever," published by theCenter for Economic PolicyResearch, a Washington-basedthink-tank. The report exam-ines Census Bureau data for 20to 24 year-olds, and compareshigh school completion ratesaround the country over thepast 30 to 40 years.

"All in all, young blacks haveexperienced significant gains inhigh school completion ratesduring the past 13 years," thereport reads. "Given the impor-tance of educational attain-ment in determining futurewages, higher completion rates

should, in theory, translate tohigher wages."

In 1975, Black Americans fin-ished high school at a 75 per-cent rate, compared to 88 per-cent for Whites and the overall86 percent rate. In 2000, Blackscompleted high school at a 14percent lower rate than theirWhite counterparts. However,by 2013, the Black completionrate rose to 86 percent, itshighest-ever level, shrinkingthe Black-White gap to lessthan 7 percent.

"I'm a young Black womanand I wanted to answer thequestion of what's going onwith young Blacks in America,"says Cherrie Bucknor, a Centerfor Economic Policy Researchassistant and author of thepaper. "Sometimes there aretoo many negative portrayalsand negative stereotypes onyoung Blacks, and I like the factthis was something positive tofocus on."

The gender break down also

shows a noteworthy trajectory.In addition to slightly outpacingthe rate for Black boys (a trendthat holds for all girls, acrossrace), the completion rate forBlack girls is 89 percent, onlyfive points lower than the ratefor White girls.

While the gains of Black girlswere more gradual, Black boyshave experienced a rocky roadto improvement in helpingclose the Black-White highschool completion gap.

"The completion rate forblack males followed the sametrajectory, but 3 to 8 percent-age points lower. Althoughblack males experiencednoticeable gains in completionrates during this century (anincrease of 18.1 percent since2000), their gains were notenough to offset the gains ofother groups, leaving notice-able gaps in completion ratesbetween black males and othergroups," the report stated.

"In 2013, the completion

rate for black males (83.5 per-cent) was 5.9 percentagepoints lower than blackfemales and 8.8 percentagepoints lower than whitemales."

Regional analysis also showsa different trend. At 10 percenthigher than the national ratefor Black students, the Westhas held the most promise forBlack students since 1975. Butthe other regions have caughtup in recent years. As of 2013,Black students in both theNortheast and the West havethe highest completion rates(88.2 and 88.1 percent, respec-tively). Further, all of theregions now have comparablerates for Black students, allwithin three percentage pointsof one another.

Although the report doesnot examine or speculate oncauses for this breaks in thesetrends, Bucknor has a few the-ories.

"One factor that might be in

play is increasing the gradua-tion requirements for studentsin general, which makes thedecision to drop out or stay inschool a little bit different thanbefore then," Bucknor explains,adding that test scores forentering freshmen also beenimproving. "And since 2000,some of the plausible factorsthat I've read about includedeclining teenage birthrates…[which] makes themmore likely to be in school."

The teenage birth rate is alsoat a historic low, particularly forBlack teens. According to 2012data from the National Center

for Health Statistics, the mater-nity rate for Black girls age 15to 17 has dropped 45 percentsince 2000; for 18 and 19-yearolds it has dropped 30 percent.

This report is the first part ina series that explores measuresof success (or lack thereof)among Black people under 40.

"I feel like there's a lot ofattention on Blacks in general,but I wanted to focus on youngBlacks like me," Bucknor says."So I'm hoping to look at sever-al issues related to education,jobs, and inequality as a way toanswer that question."

Blacks Now Finishing High School at Record Levels

BY COLLEEN WHITE

"To everything there is aseason, a time for every pur-pose under heaven: a time tobe born and a time to die…a

time to love and a time to hate,a time for war and a time forpeace" (Ecclesiastes 3:1-8).Like all of us, we struggle withhaving enough time to geteverything done. We want tokeep pressing forward to tryand make things fit our sched-ule. We probably have theright intentions, but when weare not able to do all the thingswe think we should do in a day,we feel as though we havefailed.

However, like it says inEcclesiastes, there is a seasonfor everything. Perhaps it is

not the right season for us totake on new responsibility or anew job. Perhaps it is the righttime for us to be still and hearthe quiet voice of God telling usto spend more time with ourfamily. This could be the seasonthat we are meant to be in atthat moment. Perhaps the sea-son has passed for whatever itis we had our heart's set on andwe must let it go.

Our lives have so many dif-ferent seasons that it is difficultto know which season we arein. But when we take the timeto ascertain where we are in

life, we might be able to moveinto our new season of lifewithout much difficulty.Change is not easy, but changewill come to all of us. When weknow God, we know that whenthe changes come into ourlives, we don't have to be afraidbecause He is with us throughall of it.

Everything must change andwe must learn to move into thedifferent seasons' of our lives.Are you ready for your newseason of life? I know I am.Amen? Amen.

A Little Bit of Faith: Everything Must Change

BY BILL FLETCHER, JR.NNPA COLUMNIST

I remember reading a pieceby a right-wing think-tank in1990 calling for the privatiza-tion of the postal service. Theirargument was fairly simple: itwould allegedly save money.Although there were manyrefutations of this sick argu-ment at that time - and since -the argument continues to beraised. And, as with any dis-ease, if you do not stop it in itstracks, it continues to grow.

The U.S. Postal Service hasbeen under constant assault.

Despite the suggestions that itis financially broke, the reality isthat it is making money and atno cost to the taxpayer. Whathappened, however, was thatCongress mandated that thepostal service pre-fund theirretirement for 75 years. Noorganization is ever asked to dothis, but in demanding that thepostal service make this com-mitment, Congress was puttinga financial albatross around theneck of the postal service. Andthat 'albatross' also became ameans to make demands thatthe USPS restructure itself.

We need a fully public postalservice. For one, it is mandatedby the U.S. Constitution, a factthat many people do not real-ize. Second, a public postalservice means that everyonewithin the U.S. is subject to thesame rate. A first class stampwill get your letter from D.C. toNew York, but it will also getthat letter to rural Michigan atno additional cost. Should thepostal service be privatized,you can be guaranteed that

that would change since theeconomics of the "market"would intervene making postaldelivery to isolated and rela-tively isolated areas far morecostly than mail between majormetropolitan areas.

Efforts to privatize the postalservice are taking subtle andnot-so-subtle forms. As we cansee from other experiments inprivatization, in order to pre-pare the public for privatizationit is important to discredit thepublic delivery of a specificservice. This is most often doneby financially strangling theinstitution, whether it is sanita-tion, water, education, or, inthis case, the postal service.So, in the case of the postalservice we have witnessed thereduction in the workforce; theshortening of hours in postoffices; the shuttering andthreat to shutter mail process-ing facilities; and the threat toreduce the number of days formail delivery. The result of allsuch actions is the demoraliza-tion of the customer base and

an opening to convince themthat privatization is the path ofdeliverance.

While it is true that first classmail is and has been declining,packages, catalogues, etc., havebecome a very significant com-ponent of the mail stream. Yes,you can order almost anythingon line, but the products haveto be delivered by someoneand that usually comes down tothe U.S. Postal Service, UnitedParcel Service or FedEx. In aDecember 2014 study conduct-ed by Consumer Reports, theUSPS either tied for top rating(with UPS and FedEx) or was atthe top by itself in terms ofoverall satisfaction andapproval for its performance.Therefore, contrary to themyths that have been propa-gated, the postal service is bothefficient and competent.

We need to protect the U.S.Postal Service and our right to apublic postal system. Once it islost to the private sector, allbets are off in terms of what wewill be handed in return

The Value of a Government-Owned Postal Service

By Congresswoman EddieBernice Johnson

Smoking tobacco productscauses at least five additional dis-eases than previously thought,and is responsible for the deathsof an additional 60,000 peopleabove the approximately

500,000 Americans who die eachyear from smoking, according toa study recently published in theNew England Journal ofMedicine.

Researchers found that smok-ing, which had been previouslylinked to cardiac arrest, lung can-cer, stroke, pneumonia, tubercu-losis and approximately 16 otherlife-threatening conditions, wasalso a major health detriment forthose who suffered from kidneydisease, certain heart and lungailments and intestinal diseasescaused by improper blood flow.Another major danger of smok-ing is that it weakens theimmune system and lessens the

body's ability to fight diseases.The ten-year study tracked

one million adults and wasfinanced by the American CancerSociety. It included scientistsfrom the American CancerInstitute. The researchers con-cluded that the impact of smok-ing on public health was heavilyunderstated.

Beginning in 2000, they com-pared the deaths of smokers tonon-smokers. They found thatpeople who smoked died attwice the rate of non-smokersfrom respiratory ailments, cer-tain infections, kidney diseaseand heart failure caused byhypertension.

Fifteen percent of allAmerican women and 21 percentof American men are smokers,according to the Centers forDisease Control and Prevention(CDC). Those who do not smokeoutlive smokers by about tenyears, according to health offi-cials. The majority of those whosmoke have limited educationand live close to or below thepoverty line, CDC health expertssaid.

Smoking is responsible formore deaths in our nation thanthe total number of people whoare killed by automobile acci-dents, homicides, HIV/AIDS, andalcohol-related illnesses com-

bined, according to theCampaign for Tobacco Free Kids,an anti-smoking advocacy group.There are 28,000 smoking relat-ed deaths in Texas each year, thegroup said.

Our society must address theincreased dangers and societalproblems caused by smoking.Texans under the age of 18 pur-chase 43 million packs of ciga-rettes each year, according todata from anti-smoking advo-cates in Texas. Fourteen percentof all high school students inTexas are smokers, they said.

Even non-smokers are harmedby smoking. According to ana-lysts, the annual healthcare cost,

eventually paid by taxpayers,related to smoking in Texas isnearly $9 billion. Businesses inour state lose approximately $8billion in worker productivity dueto smoker-related illnesses eachyear, the analysts said.

Our country spends approxi-mately $133 billion annually indirect medical care for adultsmokers, health officials said.The costs of smoking to ourhealthcare system are draining.As your representative inCongress, I will continue to sup-port laws and policies that detersmoking, and that promotehealthier lifestyles for allAmericans.

Greater Dangers Found In Tobacco Smoking

Continued from Page 1AThe shadow of enduring dis-

crimination touched the eventas Obama addressed his govern-ment's investigation of theFerguson, Missouri, policedepartment. The investigation,he said, "evoked the kind ofabuse and disregard for citizensthat spawned the civil rightsmovement. But I rejected thenotion that nothing's changed.What happened in Fergusonmay not be unique, but it's no

longer endemic, or sanctionedby law and custom. And beforethe civil rights movement, itmost surely was."

The Justice Department con-cluded this past week thatFerguson had engaged in prac-tices that discriminated againstthe city's largely black popula-tion. The department alsodeclined to prosecute the white

police officer who shot andkilled an unarmed black 18-year-old in Ferguson last year, spark-ing days of violent protests andmarches.

Former President George W.Bush shared the platform duringspeeches that preceded a sym-bolic walk across the bridge byObama, his wife Michelle, andmore.

"Fifty years from 'BloodySunday', our march is not yetfinished," Obama said. "But weare getting closer.

"Two hundred and thirty-nineyears after this nation's found-ing, our union is not yet perfect.But we are getting closer. Ourjob's easier because somebodyalready got us through that firstmile. Somebody already got us

over that bridge."Obama said a disservice is

done to the cause of justice bysuggesting that bias and dis-crimination "are immutable" orthat racial division is inherent toAmerica. He noted the gains ofwomen and gays, in particular.

"If you think nothing'schanged in the past 50 years, asksomebody who lived through

the Selma or Chicago or L.A. ofthe '50s," he said. "Ask thefemale CEO who once mighthave been assigned to the secre-tarial pool if nothing's changed.Ask your gay friend if it's easierto be out and proud in Americanow than it was 30 years ago. Todeny this progress - our progress- would be to rob us of our ownagency, our responsibility to dowhat we can to make Americabetter."

Representative Yvonne DavisAnnounces $500,000 2015-2016

Urban Scholarship FundState Representative Yvonne Davis (D-Dallas) announced that

over $500,000 in scholarships are available for high school grad-uates from Dallas and twenty eight other urban areas through-out Texas. Administrated by the Texas Association of DevelopingColleges (TADC), the Urban Scholarship Program was createdduring the 74th Legislative session as part of House Bill 2128with the cooperation of the three largest local telephone com-panies in the state of Texas at that time. This year's ScholarshipFund contributors are AT&T and Verizon Wireless.

Since the establishment of the Urban Scholarship Fund, near-ly 12,000 students throughout the state of Texas have been ableto begin or continue their college education due to over$6,000,000 awarded to them through the Urban ScholarshipFund.

The 2015-2016 Urban Scholarship Fund is for Texas residentswho are also U. S. citizens and full-time undergraduates in goodacademic standing at any accredited public or private non-prof-it college, university or technical college. Additionally, applicantsmust demonstrate financial need and have graduated from ahigh school in the following metropolitan cities: Abilene,Amarillo, Arlington, Austin, Beaumont, Brownsville, Carrollton,Corpus Christi, Dallas, Denton, El Paso, Fort Worth, Frisco,Garland, Grand Prairie, Houston, Irving, Killeen, Laredo,Lubbock, McAllen, McKinney, Mesquite, Midland, Pasadena,Plano, San Antonio, Waco, and Wichita Falls. Students interest-ed in applying for scholarships should contact their high schoolguidance counselor; college financial aid officer, or call theTexas Association of Developing Colleges at (214) 630-2511.

Applicants may also complete the scholarship applicationonline at www.txadc.org then print, sign and mail it with therequired documents. The deadline for applying for the 2015-2016 Urban Scholarship Fund is Tuesday, July 7, 2015 (post-marked).

Students attending technical, junior or community collegeswill receive $700, public four-year college and university stu-dents will receive $1000, and private four-year college and uni-versity students will receive $2000. The number of awards isuncertain because of the varying funding levels to differenttypes of institutions.
